Bringing people together

The Big Lunch provides a simple platform on which other things can grow, from informal friendships, to tackling broader issues that may affect a street or neighbourhood.

Every year, rain or shine, Big Lunchers across the UK hang up their bunting and came together with their neighbours to have a laugh and a natter over a bite to eat. If you'd like to join over 6 million people a year and come together with your neighbours to share food, have fun and get to know each other better, put the date in your diary - 6-7 June 2020!

A whopping 98% felt more communities should hold a Big Lunch where they live - now there's a recommendation!
